Blog 13-DIY Day Ideas!

This Saturday marks DIY Day! So why not get involved by trying out a few DIY projects that are kind to the environment, your wallet and your health?!

There’s so many ways to become a DIY God or Goddess, whether it’s Cleaning products (just in time for spring eh?!), beauty products, makeup, baking, sewing or up-cycling, these are all ways that you can really make a difference.

Learning DIY, however large or small, is a really effective way to reduce the amount of waste and toxic chemicals you are responsible for. I also think it’s a great way to spend some down time, and really relax, de-stress and forget the world for a few hours, and once you’re done you feel a great sense of achievement! I must warn you, that feeling becomes addictive, and will leave you wanting more!
